From Short Trips: A Christmas Treasury, I spotted the continuity notes on A Yuletide Tail, which read:
Isn't that over-complicating things a bit, when one of his established companions, Dodo, created a deadly plague from her common cold in The Ark?
Continuity: the Doctor claims to have got the idea of infecting the Slaargs with a “common cold” virus from an old companion. Since they resemble the aliens of The War of the Worlds, he’s probably referring to Herbert George Wells, who travelled with him briefly during Timelash. Referring to him as a “companion” seems to imply that Herbert travelled with the Doctor for more than that one story.
